Here's the order I'd give:\n\n**1. Bloomerang** - My default recommendation for most small-to-mid nonprofits (roughly 500-5,000 donors). It's built explicitly around donor *retention*: a constituent timeline, engagement scoring, and dashboards that flag lapsing donors before they're gone. That matters, because the chronic failure mode in fundraising is no follow-up - one stat in these roundups puts first-time donor repeat rates around 19%. Starts around **$125/mo** for ~1,000 constituents, climbing to $200-$400/mo. It also now owns Qgiv, so forms/events/auctions are in-house rather than bolted on.\n\n**2. Little Green Light** - The best value, full stop, and what I'd pick if budget is the binding constraint but you still want a real database. **$45/mo for up to 2,500 records**, up to ~$135/mo at 50,000, *unlimited users on every plan*, published pricing, no setup fees, no contracts, no platform cut of donations. The tradeoff is honest: it's a donor database, not a marketing suite - you'll pair it wi", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
